Harlequin have arrived in Eastbourne !!!! !!!!!! x

Today we say goodbye to our beautiful Lily.
I’m sure Lily won’t mind me saying she has never been the loudest person in the room, but she has always been one of the strongest. She has this quiet determination that has carried her through every challenge, and I have admired it from the very beginning.
One thing that has always made me smile is your love of ballet. It has never just been a dance class to you # # it has been your happy place. A place where you could escape, lose yourself in the music and simply dance. I honestly hope that wherever life takes you, ballet will always be part of who you are # # # # # #
One of my favourite memories will always be the day you received your very first pair of pointe shoes. Every young ballerina dreams of that moment, but seeing your face that day was something so special. It meant absolutely everything to you, and I’ll never forget it. # # #
Over the years you have achieved so much x You have earned every achievement through quiet dedication and determination.
Now it’s time for your next adventure… a gap year travelling and hopefully medical volunteering before heading to the University of Bristol to study Neuroscience. Somehow, that feels so perfectly you # # # always wanting to learn, always wanting to help others and always striving to be the very best version of yourself # # #
Although we are going to miss your calm, kind presence at Harlequin so much, we are lucky that we’ll still have your wonderful mum Karen and your beautiful sister Evie with us. Their love and support for Harlequin over so many years has meant more than they will ever know.
Lily, thank you for fourteen wonderful years. Thank you for your kindness, your loyalty and for reminding us that you don’t have to be the loudest person in the room to leave the biggest mark on people’s hearts.
We are all so incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to see where life takes you next.
Keep dancing, keep dreaming and keep being the beautiful person you are # #
You’ll always have a home at Harlequin # # # # #
